Men Students Harrassed By Many Worries “Inferiority complexes,” “lack of interest in the opposite sex,” “wor ry over monetary problems” and a score of other personality worries harrass over 25 per cent of the men entering the University of California, a survey conducted by Dr. Sidnev K. Smith, University psychiatrist, revealed last week. Dr. Smith was impressed with the “apparent honesty” of the stu dents in placing on paper their in timate problems. Lack of balanced interests, no social life causes nine-tenths of the troubles, he said. “Their whole life consists of classes, homework, three meals, and sleep. Mental disturbances under these conditions are extremely likely, Dr. Smith said. * * * Paiamas, Hairv Leas Hundreds of hairy legs, , sur rounded by half as many night shirts, dashed into the business dis trict of Lawrence, Kansas, Friday to celebrate the 35th annual Uni versity of Kansas “nightshirt” pa rade. The parade was originated in 1902 when Dr. Frank Strong, chancellor of the University, sug gested the idea as a means of cel-, ebrating a football victory. Fol- \ lowing a game, • students howled '< beneath the chancellor’s window to have him join the parade. He was in bed at the time, and instead of waiting to dress, donned bedroom slippers and headed the group on its triumphal march. * * * Beauty and Beasts Husky, female PE majors pro tected sun-kist beauties of UCLA at their annual Hi-Jinx celebration last Friday night.

Hall Johnson Received By Enthusiastic^Crowd At Igloo Monday Night Such famous and well-liked numbers as "Carry Me Back to Old Virginny,” “Nobody Knows De Troubles I See,” and the ever-popular "St. Louis Blues” were among the selections given by Hall Johnson and his famous negro choir in McArthur court last night to a large ana appreciative auaience. The tall, distinguished conductor, with a sweep of his graceful hands opened the program with a group of negro spirituals, outstanding among which was the striking ne gro hymn, “Cert’ny Lord,” and the mournful “The Blind Man Stood on the Road and Cried.” The twelve men and nine women of the choir delighted the audience with such familiar old airs as "Old Black Joe,” “Water Boy,” and “Standin’ in the Need of Prayer.” Secular Songs Sung Among the secular songs sung by the group was “I Jes’ Can’t Stay Here by Myself,” the story of an aged negro and slave left alone to die on the plantation. One of the women of the choir soloed ip the selection, assisted by the rest of the members. Solos with their choir accom i paniment were prominent among the selections, and were striking in arrangement. All the choral ar ' rangements used were made by Mr. j Johnson for the choir. | One group of numbers was sung by the male members of the choir alone. At the conclusion of this group, the enthusiastic audience demanded three encores. One of j those given was the humorous | novelty number “Mule on the Mount.” | (Please turn to page four) Dainty Donuts Of YWCA Gals On Sale Today YWCA donuts will go on sale today at eight booths, located at 11th and Alder, College Side, be tween Commerce and Oregon, old libe, education building, Pio neer Mother, 14th and Univer sity, and the new library.

Schindler was the dominating force when jn action, passing and racing his way to four out of five of Southern California’s touch downs. With "ambling Amby" tak ing a rest in the second period, jackrabbit Jay Graybeal and his passing mate, Bob Smith, teamed to produce Oregon’s first touch down against Troy in just 22 years. Gebhardt Scores Thriller The flashy Southern California triumph put Howard Jones’ boys back into the championship lime light, while leaving Oregon the only club with two defeats. To 40,000 or more spectators the Tro ian team recalled memories of pre vious Trojan title-winners. Prink Callison’s game Ducks, despite their terrific lacing, showed flashes of smooth offensive work, between moments when the line, and pass defense seemed to crum ple. Ted Gebhardt, reserve half back, provided the day's biggest thrill by scooting 71 yards down the sidelines for Oregon’s second touchdown on a flat pass from Steve Anderson in the second pe riod. It came with Oregon trailing 20 to 7, and gave northern follow ers some brief hopes of victory. Southern California first string ers and reserves found a tighter Oregon forward wall in the second half, and were able to push over but one score. Schindler Too Much Oregon’s running attack netted but 49 yards through the strong Troy forwards, while Schindler himself reeled off 40 on one touch down dash in the first period. The Troian quarterback was simply too hard for would-be tacklers to hold, and ran several punts back nearly to where they were booted. He was injured and left the game early in the second half. Graybeal and Smith entered the contest with Oregon trailing 14 to 0, but soon perked up the Duck offense, and finally got their touchdown with Smith tossing a pass on the fourth down which netted 21 yards, to Graybeal in the end zone. Ducks Lack Pay-off Punch Oregon drove within striking distance of pay-dirt several times, only to bog down before the weighty Trojan linemen. In for ward passes the Ducks outgained Southern California, netting 167 yards to 41 on eight completed out of 26. The Webfoot punters also had an end in punting, with a 33 average to 32. In all other figures the men of Troy dominated. Lineups: Oregon (14) So. Cal. (34) Yerby .LE. Coleman Foskett .LT. McNeil Huston ....v.LG. Wehbar Breaid .C.Tonnell Amato (C) .RG. Radovici Jensen .RT.

Acti vitiesLeft'in Dark By Obliging Pledges By WEN BROOKS Conditions were somewhat similar to those found in the China shop after the proverbial "buH’s visit” when pledges at the Delta Tau Delta house staged a walk out last night. Seems the pledges, not content with things as they were, decided to turn them (the things) upside down. It all began when some fif teen of the lads objected, most con scientiously to be sure, to the rigor ous study hours imposed by the overbearing actives. And there wasn’t much the actives could do Why? Well, after all, when you’re locked in the chapter room with no lights and no one on the outside to lend assistance . . . now, please, don’t ask me how tlfe actives hap pened to be locked in their chapter room. And to leave as little light on the subject, rather, subjects (the actives) as possible, the pledges thoughtfully removed all the fuses from the house. Needless to say, the actives gave hot pursuit after the runaway pledges, once they had freed them selves, and the last reports had them still giving hot pursuit, what ever that is. FLASH: hot from the front— Actives at the Delta Tau Delta house had a reception for members of their pledge class in the wee, early hours this morning. The re ception was held honoring the re turn of the pledges to the house i... a rather warm reception, ac cording to all reports. Sigmund Appointed Graduate Assistant Due to the heavy enrollment in accounting a third graduate assist ant, Wilson Sigmund, a graduate of 1937, has been appointed. Mr. Sigmund is enrolled this year as a graduate student in CPA work. Enrollment, which is over 25 per cent higher than last year, necessi tated the appointment. An addi tional instructor will also be ap pointed in the immediate future. The other two assitants of the school of business are Kenneth Gillanders, also a graduate of Ore gon, and Paul Hayman of the Col lege of Idaho. Real Homecoming Offered UO Alums Old Oregon, the alumni maga zine, came off the press last week Featured was an invitation from Elmer Fansett, alumni secretary to the alumni to "come back for a real Homecoming.” The magazine is published once a month by the alumni association and edited by Bill Pease. matter of assessments made against their houses by various campus committees, house man agers plan action to defeat the head tax of twenty-five cents per organization member for the alum ni and student luncheon Saturday at the Igloo. “In the past,” according to one aroused house manager, “we have had to stand for these tax levies and charges made against the houses because we have been pub licly forced to do so to save our face. The fact that any house not joining in campus luncheons has been endangered of being ridiculed by campus leaders has always made it hard for us to refuse.” Object to “Sticking" The fact that these campus luncheons are good things for the traditions and customs of the school is a point not objected to by these houses, according to one lead er in the revolt, but the fact that it is just another fee that some campus entertainment committee decided it will stick on the houses. No objection is made either to the fact that the Greek-letter organiza tions pay for the pleasure of inde pendents and all outsiders, al though one such “beef” was made two years ago. Immediately following the notice of the new social fee this afternoon, several managers called the Breeze-Warner System, the audit ing and bookkeeping Jirm for most of the houses, asking^whether oth er houses would pay jthe tax. Revolt Attempted “The old organization of house managers formed twp wears ago to prevent the interfratemity coun cil from levying t^xes on the houses without first consulting the house managers has gone out of use, but this meeting will be an attempt to revive that useful group in order to give the financial end of the houses a more fair representa tion in these matters,” one man ager said last night. Manual Prepared Bp Oregon Alumnus A manuel which will assist city officials in compiling ordinances in small Oregon cities has been pre pared under the direction of Wil liam O.
